Last week with only one game between ranked teams my picks went pretty well. Alabama 27 Penn St. 11 making me 1-0 this week and taking my record for the year to 2-1. Not a bad start to the season.
This week there are two game between ranked teams. The first game is on Thursday so I have an early jump on the weekend. I wish that meant that I also got an early start on the weekend but not so lucky.
The Thursday night game is (3) LSU at (25) Mississippi St. On paper this one looks like it will be a close game. Unfortunately for Miss. St. they do not play the game on paper. The Bulldogs lost a close one last week to an Auburn team that is not nearly as good as the team that won the BCS Championship last season. This week they play and LSU team that many people are picking to be in the Championship game. LSU demolished Oregon in their first game of the season and have set themselves up for quite a run. Even though Mississippi State has all the stats I don’t see this one being as close as some people might think. LSU 42 Miss. St. 21
The second game of ranked teams this week is (1) Oklahoma at (5) Florida St. This game should be a classic game of College Football power house teams. It will be a great test to see if Florida St. is back and to see if Oklahoma can avoid the disappointment of years past when ranked Number one and then losing and costing them a chance at the BCS Championship. Last year the teams played in Norman and Oklahoma had their way with Florida St. and blew them out. This year there will be no blow out but I don’t see Florida St. being able to stop Oklahoma. This game will be close through three quarters with the Sooners pulling out a win in the 4th quarter. Oklahoma 28 Florida St. 24
